seems to have been in tho bumper
class. In passing ono orchard where
the trees loaded with red and golden
fruit appeared to have been neglect
ed by the one who ?hould do tho
pruning, we started to lecture tho
owner on tho subject of apple cul
ture. "Now, It you would spray
those trees" "Huh! What for?"
was tho quick response. "We havo
so many apples now that the cellars
won't hold 'em. Look at them over
there on the ground." Wo had to
admit that the crop was all right,
and with the suggestion that tho
man ought to hulld a larger cellar
wo passed on with no signs of re
gret on the part of anyone about
the place save the big dog who
seemed to sympathize with tho man
who wanted to spray tho trees.
